Lets see; what is the cumlative tax revenue effect of Crossgates Mall for just one year? What is it since it’s building? How many people young and old have jobs because of Crossgates Mall? How much “outside” dollars are brought in because Crossgates is a “destination” mall? What is the “overflow” effect on other businesses in Guilderland? The people that live in the neighborhood that has the empty houses made their choice to stay when Pyramid offered to buy them out. Now they have to live with that poor choice….to bad for them, they had thier chance!

I say this. If they don’t like it there they are free to move. Why anyone would want to live in such overcrowded conditions is beyond me anyway. The problem is , too many people view a home as an investment instead of a place to live. In essence, it’s not a home, it’s a house.

If you treat your home as an investment then you took the gamble. If you lost on your gamble it sucks to be you. FYI, Not all of my gambles have paid off either.
